> direct payment is NOT a tax credit <
Right. If I recall correctly, a tax credit is something you can deduct dollar-for-dollar from your tax liability. That’s very different from a direct payment, because some folks don’t have a tax liability in the first place.
The tax credit applies to illegals as well. It is not limited to just USA citizens.
Biden regime is rewarding illegals to come and multiply.
100%
AND-—IF this is considered a “:prepayment” by Biden, then when they DO fill out their 1040 to ‘get the child tax credit’, every single 1040 will have to be audited against the payments already received.
The illegals get paid cash
They do not pay ANY federal income taxes
BUT—They have been trained to file the 1040 to GET THE CHILD TAX CREDIT PAID TO THEM
